Editor's Note- Wow, I am really bored. Oh, here is another chapter. No Reznor but plenty of Ratchet fights. And this chapter, someone DIES! Who is it? Read and review to find out.(When something is written like this, it is mumbling.)

Chapter 8: Dead to Rights

Ratchet's starship was flying towards Planet Aquatos at blazing speeds. Skidd and Clank were riding shotgun and looking nervous.

"Skidd, have you ever fought before?"

"Not really but I'm totally awesome on the simulator."

"That's nothing compared to real fighting!"

"You're just saying that because you suck at it!"

"Shut up, you hoverboard poser!"

"Why you little-"

Skidd and Ratchet began beating the snot out of each other but Clank was trying to get their attention for a more important reason.

"Ratchet."

"Ratchet!"

"RATCHET!"

"What?"

"Look Out!"

The ship was headed straight into a meteor but with Ratchet's luck-, I mean skillful piloting, they missed it. This caused both of them to stop arguing. Skidd broke the silence first.

"I miss Qwark."

"Me too."

The ship continued to its destination in silence.

They arrived on Planet Aquatos surface after the New Breed. They saw them and walked over to them.

"Hello bastards."

"What was that last part?"

"Nothing."

"Just make sure you keep an eye on the old people."

An hour later, nothing had happened and people were getting bored. Dorg kept checking his watch.

"Waiting for something?"

"Of course not."

Seven tyrahnoid-style dropships flew into the area and elite thugs inside mechs came out from inside. Thugs-4-Less had been using Dr. Nefarious' technology for themselves! Fighting began immediately.

Ratchet was attacking with the Nitro Eruptor and admiring the new upgrades. Each shot was going farther and the explosions were getting bigger. He took a moment to look over at Skidd and laugh. Skidd had equipped a N60 Storm and was running around firing while screaming.

The New Breed was easily handling the threat. Dorg was blasting dropships, Thrax was slashing through troops, and Carth was charging through the opposition like a linebacker on steroids. Then Dorg aimed a rocket launcher at the balcony of nearby building. The balcony fell through the air towards Skidd. Ratchet tried to warn him.

"Skidd, look out!"

Skidd looked up just in time to seea falling balcony.

"Dude-"

The balconycrashed to the ground.

"Skidd! SKIDD!"

But there was no point to it,

Skidd Mcmarx was dead.

Final Thought- Skidd! NOOOOOOOOO! Moving on... Next chapter will mourning and a Reznor attack. R+R
